Walk the Talk Leadership Workshop
Leadership Training in Manila That Builds Authentic, Values-Driven Leaders
You’ve probably met this kind of boss. He talks about accountability in every meeting—yet he never admits his own mistakes. When deadlines are missed, he points fingers at his team. Rules are for everyone else, but not for him.
Or this one. She demands teamwork, but makes decisions alone. She tells her team to “value work-life balance,” but brags about working weekends and expects everyone else to do the same. She preaches values, but acts like the exception.
People notice. They stop believing. They do the minimum—because if leaders don’t walk the talk, why should anyone else?
But there are also leaders who inspire. Like the manager who never asks for something he wouldn’t do himself. When he talks about respect, you see it in how he listens. When he calls for accountability, he owns his share first. His team trusts him. They follow—not because they have to, but because they want to.
And that’s what every CEO wants. Leaders who live the company’s values every single day. Leaders who don’t just say the right words in meetings— but model the right actions when no one is watching.
We want managers and supervisors who are authentic. Credible. Values-driven. The kind of leaders whose teams trust them—because they walk the talk.
But too many leaders still say one thing and do another. They talk about accountability, but avoid responsibility. They preach teamwork, but put themselves first. They hang values on the wall, but don’t show them in daily decisions.
It’s not always intentional.
Many were promoted for their skills, not their example. They know what the values are, but not how to live them. And when leaders fail to walk the talk, trust breaks. Teams disengage. Culture weakens. Performance suffers.
That’s the danger. In fast-changing times, companies can’t afford leaders who only look good on paper. They need leaders who are consistent. Leaders who act with integrity. Leaders whose actions speak louder than words.
You decide. Do you keep sending managers to leadership trainings that sound inspiring but change nothing? Or do you choose a program that challenges them to practice authentic leadership, align their actions with values, and build credibility that lasts?
The Walk the Talk Leadership Workshop is not another lecture. It’s a values-driven leadership training in Manila where managers act, reflect, and commit to leading by example.
Because true leadership isn’t about what you say. It’s about what you do.
Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is for leaders who know that trust is earned, not demanded.
It’s for managers and supervisors who want to do more than give orders.
They want their people to believe in them—because they lead by example.
It’s for CEOs and senior leaders who are building organizations where values aren’t just posters on the wall, but living practices seen in daily decisions.
It’s for HR and L&D professionals who are tired of leadership programs that talk about authenticity, but never test it in action.
If your goal is to build leaders who are authentic, credible, and values-driven, the Walk the Talk Leadership Workshop is for your company.
Because when leaders walk the talk, trust grows.
And when trust grows, culture thrives.
What Participants Will Take Away
This is not a lecture on values. It is an immersive experience where leaders practice authentic leadership in real time. From the very first module, participants act—not just reflect. Each module builds on the next, ending with a concrete 90-Day Leadership Commitment that proves they are ready to walk the talk.
The journey unfolds in four powerful modules:
1. Face the Mirror
Leaders are placed in situations where their actions speak louder than their titles. They confront the gap between what they say and what they do—sometimes for the first time.
- Action: Take on a challenge that exposes the difference between values on the wall and values in action.
- Shift: From believing they already “walk the talk” → to recognizing the blind spots that weaken trust.
2. Align the Compass
Values mean nothing if they don’t guide decisions. In this module, participants test real-world dilemmas and learn to use values as a decision-making compass.
- Action: Solve scenarios where “easy” choices conflict with the company’s values.
- Shift: From knowing values as words → to applying them as guides for daily decisions.
3. Lead with Integrity
Authenticity is tested under pressure. Participants lead small-group exercises where credibility, fairness, and consistency are put to the test.
- Action: Practice leading through uncertainty and conflict where only integrity builds followership.
- Shift: From saying the right things → to leading with credibility others can trust.
4. The 90-Day Walk
The workshop doesn’t end in the room. Every participant designs a 90-Day Leadership Project to apply authentic leadership in their workplace. This anchors commitment and accountability.
- Action: Create a 90-Day “Walk the Talk” plan with specific behaviors, milestones, and peer accountability.
- Shift: From hearing about authentic leadership → to proving it through action that inspires trust.
By the end of the Walk the Talk Leadership Workshop, managers don’t just talk about values. They live them. They leave with tested habits, stronger credibility, and a concrete project that makes authenticity visible in 90 days.
Why Choose This Workshop
Most leadership programs talk about values. They give inspiring speeches, show powerful slides, and ask leaders to write down “what matters most.”
But a week later, nothing changes. Managers go back to saying one thing and doing another. The words stay on the wall, but the culture stays the same.
That’s the problem I set out to solve.
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked with CEOs, managers, and supervisors in the Philippines and across Asia. I’ve seen how quickly trust breaks when leaders fail to walk the talk— and how powerful the change is when leaders act with authenticity.
That’s why I built the Shift Experience Design (SXD) method. Every workshop I design follows the same rhythm:
- Act first – Leaders don’t sit. They move, decide, and lead.
- See the pattern – They confront the gap between values they say and values they show.
- Shift the frame – They discover how authentic leadership looks in action.
- Anchor the win – They commit to a 90-day project that proves the change is real.
This isn’t a generic seminar. It’s a shift experience that challenges leaders to practice authenticity where it matters most—inside the room, and in the workplace the very next day.
If you want leadership training in Manila that builds authentic, values-driven leaders who walk the talk, this is why you choose this workshop.
Workshop Format & Details
The Walk the Talk Leadership Workshop is built to fit your organization’s rhythm.
- ⏱ One-Day Intensive – A full-day immersive experience where leaders go through all four modules and end with their 90-Day Walk the Talk Project.
- ⏱ Two Half-Days – If schedules are tight, we can split the workshop into two sessions. This allows time for leaders to reflect between modules and come back ready to practice at a deeper level.
This workshop also works as the perfect lead-in to Strategic Planning. When leaders are clear, consistent, and values-driven, your planning sessions stop being just strategy talks. They become credibility-building moments where everyone is aligned and committed.
📍 Delivered onsite in Manila, as well as Metro Manila, Laguna, Batangas, Cavite—or anywhere in the Philippines.
👥 Ideal for 20–50 participants (customizable for larger groups).
🎯 Always tailor-fit to your company’s culture, values, and leadership goals.
This is not another generic seminar on values. It’s a shift experience that ensures your leaders don’t just talk about values—they live them.
